Anyone who knows Salty Dog appreciates that this is no one-trick puppy, because this is a discerning, hand-cooked crisp custodian, whose ‘fine snacking’ credentials today extends effortlessly into Roasted Corn Kernels (Darling Corn) and a 5-strong cluster of moreish nuts which includes: Salted Cashews and every conceivable peanut blend (Honey Roasted, Chilli, Dry Roasted & Salted).
In June 2026 the Chilterns best-known snacking collective extends its savoury snacking reach yet further, with the eagerly anticipated debut of its fiendishly feisty Chilli Rice Crackers, a generously proportioned bag of moreish rice clusters that marries intense flavour hit with a satisfying crunch.
According to co-founder Dave Willis, ‘For some while now we’ve wanted to extend our fine snacking estate whilst staying true to the business’s unswerving commitment to intriguing textures, bold flavours and an unyielding crunch, taking our snacking prowess into yet another staple food crop to further enhance our prowess as a one-stop, fine snacking provider.’
Rice Cracker clumps represent the perfect marriage of light bite meets intense flavours, an anytime nibble that perhaps historically appealed more to a more inquisitive fine-snacking audience looking beyond spud-themed snacks. The unashamedly bold flavour profile of these airy yet intense savoury puffs means they can be eaten on the hoof, in tandem with one’s favourite tipple, as the hidden gem within your meticulously assembled lunchbox OR even as a richly deserved Sunday sofa feast for one!
In short, whether we’re talking discerning pubs delis and coffee shops, avant-garde airlines, ahead-of-the-curve garden centres, canteens or vending machines this is an apologetically noisy nibble with big bite ambitions.
